New windows and forms appear behind the Library Manager in background when using GNOME 3

Posted on Edited on In

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Rocky Linux 8 and the GNOME 3 window manager, the new Virtuoso Schematic/Layout/ADE windows and forms sometimes pop up under or below the Library Manager or on the desktop in the background instead of the foreground and cannot be seen. Sometimes, they are iconized; they do not come on the top in front, though it is the most recent window opened.
